Actually I'm testing things like
while [ true ]; do
ls ///////////////////////////////////////////////////(1400 /)
done
it works, but when I try
while [ true ]; do
ls ///////////////////////////////////////////////////(5400 /)
done
I get "too long file name" warning.
Also works for ~/// and ///dir1///dir2
